  			(verse 1) 
G 
Once I was alone, so lonely and then, 
A7                C7 
You came out of nowhere,  
          G              Am7 - D7 
Like the sun up from the hills, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
G 
Cold, cold was the wind, warm, warm were your lips, 
A7                C7 
Out there on that ski trail, 
            G  
Where your kiss filled me with thrills, 
 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
C             D7     G 
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene, 
C       D7                G 
Was the most I bargained for, 
C           D7 
And then I discovered you, 
G            Em      Bm     F#7 
And in your eyes, I found a love, 
    Bm            Am - D7  
That I couldn't ignore, 
 
 
 
 
(verse 3)   
 G 
Down, down came the sun, fast, fast beat my heart, 
A7              C  
I knew, as the sunset, 
           G  
From that day we'd never, part, 
A7              C 
I knew, as the sunset, 
           G              D7     G  
From that day we'd never, never part,
